JMSN is Pushing R&B Forward by Returning to its Roots

JMSN's 'Whatever Makes U Happy' cements the R&B singer's status as one of music's true talents.

The waist-length hair is gone, the beard has been trimmed, and JMSN's music just keeps getting better. His latest album, Whatever Makes U Happy, was released at the end of April.

It's an eight-song journey into the mind of a studious musician—the songs don't play as much as they unfold, lingering on virtuoso solos or patient, grandiose crescendos. More than ten years after Christian Berishaj​ broke into the music industry as the driving force behind Love Arcade, he continues to amaze.

The Detroit-born singer did things differently this time around. Whatever Makes U Happy features some incredibly talented musicians, and most of the tracks were recorded in just one or two takes. "The players...were so good that you don't even have to ask them twice," he said. "Get one take, then one for safety." He also shared his creative process when it comes to videos, what it means to "make it," and being confident enough to be himself. Watch the interview above, and check out JMSN's new album here.
